Industrial Park Zoning Pushed

November 11, 1988

GLENDALE HEIGHTS — The Glendale Heights Plan Commission has recommended that the Village Board rezone and annex property west of Bloomingdale Road and south of the Illinois Central Gulf railroad tracks for use as an industrial office park.

The L.J. Hooker Development Co., an Atlanta firm, asked the village Tuesday to waive annexation fees and water and sewer hookup fees, but the Plan Commission rejected those requests.

``The developer wanted zoning for a hotel to front on Bloomingdale Road but the Plan Commission also denied that request,`` said Glendale Heights Village Administrator James Kilcourse.

The commission is recommending the Village Board not allow truck traffic to enter the proposed industrial office park from Mill Pond Road, west of the 106-acre site. Residents living west and south of the proposed development have objected to the project since it was proposed last month.

Plans call for construction of 20 light industrial and office buildings on the site. The Village Board will consider the proposal next Thursday.
